we're getting this counterproposal, if you will, from republicans and as dana points out, initially it was an idea from a democrat, from erskine bowles who recently met with the president. so we now have the plan from the white house. we now have the counterplan from the republicans and perhaps in a matter of days they'll continue to meet in the middle. the really big sticking point when it comes to your tax and my taxes is the republicans want to extend the bush era tax cuts to everyone. not just the middle class, but the top 2%. let's go reaction on this and keep the conversation going as we are, again, 29 days away from all of this hitting each and every one of us. the president, he's been getting advice, counsel from some of the country's ceos in this whole battle over the fiscal cliff. and alan mu llally is among the leaders here, the president and ceo of ford. so welcome, mr. mulally, nice to have you on. i promise we'll talk about the new lincoln, the lincoln 2.0 in a second. i don't know if you could hear our correspondent on little, we now have this sort of counterproposal fro

cnn's dana bash live on capitol hill with more. why did senator demint decide to step down? >> we're trying to get more information from his aides. maybe find him in the hallways here. it's a bit of a surprise because demint has felt that he's been able to be effective here in congress because he has been kind of a conservative very willing to push his own leadership in ways that often times they don't want to be pushed with regard to deficit reduction, with regard to strict fiscal policy. that's by far his number one issue. i can tell you he's also really angered republican leaders over the past two election cycles by raising millions of dollars, a lot of money, for republican candidates who "establishment" thought were less able to win the general election. he is a purist. he's an anti-tax, anti-government purist. it does seem that he's kind of had it here. he wouldn't be the only one to say that they don't feel they can get enough done from the inside and it's probably better to go to the house. we'll try to get more information on why he's making this decision. not just
